Jonquil Erlicheer - bulbs

Narcissus pseudonarcissus 'Erlicheer' - Jonquil

DESCRIPTION : Erlicheer features fully double almost globe-shaped flowers, ivory with a buttery cream centre, and very highly scented. Multiple flowers per stem. Long stems perfect for cutting.
PLANTING : Bulbs thrive in free draining soil. Prepare clay soil using a clay-breaker and add well composted manure or mulch to help with drainage. Add grit or gravel to your planting holes if your soil is heavy, or plant up into containers. Plant bulbs with the narrow end facing upward, cover with a good layer of mulch to help regulate soil temperature. Late Summer - early Winter is the best time for a showy spring display. Bulbs prefer an open sunny location or filtered sun in warmer climates.
USE IN : Plant as a border or scatted naturally through garden beds with our other daffodil varieties for a natural meadow feel.
CARE : Once planted water the soil to set the bulb in place. An occasional light watering is all that's needed until the first flowers appear. Water and feed weekly or if the soil becomes dry, give a good deep water (bulbs are generally at least 5 cms below the surface). Once flowering is finished leave plants to die back, it's not the prettiest sight but don't be tempted to trim the yellowing foliage. The nutrients are being drawn back into the bulbs for next year. When the bulbs die back completely remove spent foliage and leave in place for next year.
CLIMATE : Cold to Sub-Tropical
